I assume that Amazon felt that they would be too technical for the typical user and didn't want to deal with the support questions that would occur. Some examples of typical error messages are:

<el snippo>

Error(YJConvValidator):E120024: Negative margin for table is not supported.Table Type=DATA_TABLE, PropertyKey=margin_bottom, P
ropertyValue=decimal:-0.1191 lh
Error(YJConvValidator):E120022: Large Data Table not supported.No. of characters=0, No. of rows=1, No. of cells=6

<more snippo>


My KFX Output plugin for calibre invokes the Previewer's KFXGenApp, preserves the logs, and presents the final error message if one occurs. You may want to consider giving that a try. It has a command line interface that allows it to be used outside of the calibre GUI.
Your sample errors--and one I just snagged, using your plugin, thanks much--are giving us the feeling that KFX/Enhanced Typesetting does NOT love Tables. Are you seeing that, too?

We're seeing glitches with pretty much any book that has a large-ish--not large, large-ish--table. You, too?
